PAT PEDRAJA
I heard about the shortage of bone marrow donors , especially for minority groups, when a friend of mine died because she couldn't find a matching donor. That made me so sad and I want to do something to help! I am part hispanic, and am scared that if I need a bone marrow transplant one day there may not be a match available for me.
I am excited to plan and organize DRIVING FOR DONORS and I hope you will help me. It is scary because it is such a large task but I can do it with your help!
